Sample Answers

Where did you go for your last holiday? My last holiday was actually to Hawaii, and it was amazing! I chose it because I'd always wanted to visit the beaches and try some surfing. The scenery was just incredible, and the people were so friendly.

Do you like holidays? Why? Yeah, I love holidays! I think it's because they're a great way to unwind and experience new things. You know, get out of your daily routine and just relax. Plus, I love trying all the local food and drinks – it's a big part of the fun for me.

Which public holiday do you like the best? Hmm, that's a tough one... I'd say my favorite is probably Thanksgiving. I love spending time with my family and friends, and just enjoying a big meal together. It's always such a warm and cozy atmosphere.

What do you do when you’re on holiday? Well, I'm a big fan of trying new activities and adventures, so I usually try to fit in some hiking or water sports. But I also love just chillin' on the beach and reading a good book – it's the perfect way to unwind.
